We enjoyed a very relaxing two-night getaway in Patâs ground floor apartment. The views are gorgeous and the apartment is set up beautifully, with lovely art and numerous fascinating cookbooks. We found the bed incredibly comfortable. While we had all we needed for our light cooking, the kitchenware offerings were extensive. The Newtown General Store, recommended by Pat, is a must for delicious and inexpensive sandwiches. After a bike ride from Monroe to Trumbull, we had a great time sipping beers and listening to live music at NewSylum Brewing Co., on the grounds of a former psychiatric hospital. We hope to have another opportunity to return to Patâs beautiful home and explore more of the area.
